I decode intracranial local field potentials (LFPs) for adaptive deep brain stimulation and study equitable access to neurological care.

Now · October 2026

  • Research in the Walker Lab: decoding intracranial LFPs recorded during DBS surgery.
  • Writing the first essays for the 2026–27 Doximity Op-Med Fellowship.
  • Developing a device concept for recording from deep brain targets (concept stage). Interested? Email me.

Open to research collaborations, speaking, and conversations with people building neurotechnology.
